Bursary award amount is $2,000 per recipient. Recipients can only receive one bursary award in a 12-month period.

You may be eligible if you:

• are enrolled full-time in an eligible nursing program of at least 4 months in length at a designated B.C. post-secondary institution that leads to a Certificate, Diploma or Degree recognized for practice in B.C.

Notes:

• Applicants in default of B.C. Student Loan or with bankruptcies including B.C. Student loans are not eligible for funding through this program.
• Awards are disbursed based on a limited budget and not all applicants demonstrating financial need will be awarded. Applicants will be ranked against other applicants in the bursary period to determine who has the greatest financial need.
• Part-time students in nursing programs are not eligible for this program.

There is no need to apply for this bursary. You will be automatically assessed when you apply for a student loan for each of the following three bursary periods.

Any errors or omissions (e.g. missed bursary deadline, wrong program code, incomplete full-time StudentAid BC loan application, etc.) on the loan application can not be appealed. Applicants will be considered in the next bursary period, provided all other eligibility criteria are met.
